Hello all. I know that the manual suggests 37 front and 44 rear, but when the tyres warm up that's 43/4 front and 50/52 rear according to my TPMS. I took the car on some twisties today (Lake Hughes Rd., - great driving road!) and the tyres squealed through every turn. Do any of you guys run less pressure than that? Thanks all.

 

I've been running 37/44, Irish. PS2 tires, no squeal issues. I don't have TPMS, but I've checked the tires hot and am seeing about a 6psi increase, so we're in the same boat.

I have 3,500 miles on the C4S... the PS2s are wearing evenly, but FAST!

I'm running 33/39 cold (at 70 degrees) These are the pressures recommended for 2 persons/no baggage Feels right to me

 

I am running the stock 33/39 pressures. I just got my car yesterday and drove it home from the dealer and then check it pressures this moring and they had it at 40/46 so I lowered them to the stock settings. the car now goes over the highway expansion joints much better in the turns/on/off ramps

 

Thanks all. I've also noticed that my old tyre pressure gauge gives me a much different reading than TPMS. I'll trust the latter, but I do think I should lower pressure - especially for throwing it through bends! By the way I forgot to mention, my car's wearing Pirellis, for what it's worth.

 

the guitar man is back?
welcome home!
finally get to put some miles on the new one!

I have a week to reach 2000 miles. I'm at 1350. Think I'll make it? More to the point; will my tyres last?

 

Singing tires are happy tires, so goes the motto at PDE!

You need to get up in the middle of the night when the ambient temp is about 68 degrees, and with a race style (accurate) tire pressure guage, set the tires to exactly 33/39. This is called Porsche passion

Then after the tires come up to temp, measure what it says on the TPMS and keep the readings for future reference...Forget about "micro" adjustments and keep the the TPMS turned off, otherwise it will drive you crazy, because of minute differences side to side, etc. Example, which side of the car faces the sun!

Seriously, keep it at 33/39 and forget about it, then "sing" away!

 

I've noticed mine screaming in the corners, too. No worries.

 

What you've said above is precisely why I chose not to order TPMS on my Club Coupe

I run 36/39--seems to handle a bit more neutrally for me at those pressures.

 

Any suggestions on a good tire gauge? Can a "good one" be digital?

 

Thanks Colm. I'll give it a go. As for getting up in the night to drive, I've been planning on doing that this week to rack-up the miles in my quest for 2000.

 

35/40 here. Seems fine.

 

Tire pressure reportedly goes up 1 psi for every 10 degrees. Porsche's figures are for 68 degrees. If you do the math you can sleep through the night

 

I personally love having the near real-time feedback that TPMS provides. It is that extra confidence factor when I start to feel or hear things from the tires. Nope,--that must be the road! I start my days at 33/39 and they wind up around 37/44, roughly
